I get the message that my files might contain phishing content
I am trying to share a file and get the message "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content" Relevant Facts: 1) File does not contain phishing content. 2) I haven't used dropbox for about a year, so I'm not over any limits. 3) File is legal content, legally obtained. 4) File is 22 MB. No customer support except for paid subscriptions. So I guess this is why I don't use dropbox.....22KViews2likes183Comments
Dropbox says another user is viewing/editing a file, but he is not.
When I open some of my company's Excel files, Dropbox's badge indicates my coworker is viewing and/or has unsaved changes. But looking at his PC, he doesn't have Excel open and the Excel lock files are not in the directory with the original files. Any suggestions?Solved9.3KViews1like14Comments
How can I share files with others, but allow them only to view the files and nothing else?
Dear all, Can someone please explain if what I want to do is possible on DropBox? I have a large folder containing many files and photos. I want to invite friends who are DropBox account holders to be able to view the folder and its contents. I do not want them to be able to edit, share, comment on, or more importantly download, any of the folder's contents. I simply want them to be able to view each file and nothing else. I don't want them to have to be part of my/a family account. I don't want them to have to upgrade to more storage space to be able to simply view my folder and its contents. Essentially, the person can remain as a basic free DropBox account holder. Any help would be apprciated. Thanks! 🙂Solved8.9KViews0likes9Comments

Hello community! Is there any way I can generate a full report on file-sharing activity (created, edited, deleted)? My idea is to handle the data to create a time tracking sheet (when each member worked on a specific folder/project) Best!Solved5.6KViews0likes8CommentsExcel file macros do not work in shared dropbox folder
